work in HTML mono mode.
Changes since 11.1c:

Removed "NO_COMPLEX_ROOTS" compile-time define option.
I am thinking of making this a run-time option.
Increased security of "SECURE" compile-time define.

They can be cut-and-pasted to another math program with this option.
Added a blank line after every equation listed with the "list" and
"code" commands. Looks better.
Made "MAX_VAR_LEN" completely flexible (can be set to any value; set to 80).

differentiate with respect to every variable.
Changes:
- Fixed "makefile" to be completely portable.
No longer requires GNU make.
- Simplified some code.
- Converted token_type.kind to enum type for better type checking.
- Removed all "unsigned" variables and type casts.
- Simplified "simplify" command code. Some speed up.
- Moved "*.in" and "fix*" to directory "tests".
- Implemented long variable names (up to 40 characters).
Changes:
- Removed calc() fraction code for accuracy because of fraction slack
that was implemented in version 10.9c.
- Solve increase power function wasn't working with odd number roots.
Fixed. Appears to be another gcc optimizer bug.
- Improved simplify command.
- Tweaked factor_constants().
- Some changes to "makefile" for "readline" support.
"GNU make" or "gmake" required now.

bug fix (first one in a long time).
- Restored "epsilon" to original value in version 10.9b. Required
for factoring large polynomials.
- Changed factor_times() to preserve divides. This improved the
"unfactor" command.
- Added polynomial factoring to the very beginning of "simplify"
command. This is necessary in case you "unfactor" a complicated
equation, then "simplify".

- Removed some simplification optimizations in favor of correctness
and simpler code. Minor slowdown.
- Doubled "MAX_COMPARE_TERMS".
- Simplify order poly_div then smart_div reversed.

- Allow square brackets ([]) as parentheses and optimized parser.
- Simplification was improved.
Changes since 10.9b:
- Removed more MS-DOS specific code; functionality improved.
- Implemented what I call "fraction slack". This perfects float to
fraction conversion, and now Mathomatic doesn't rely on perfect
floating point routines. "-O" option added to CFLAGS in file
"makefile" (we can do this now).
- Changed modf() to fmod() where possible.
- Accuracy increased one more digit by reducing the "epsilon" variable.
- Cleaned up "makefile".
- Took a step towards internationalization with gettext(3) by
calling _() for all English strings. Everything ported except for
the "help" command.
- Commented out some unfactoring code that wasn't helpful and took out
the "pause" command from "all.in" for easier testing.
- Rearranged "simplify" command to simplify better.
- Removed some more unfactoring code and made simplification much
better. Go figure. Perfection has been achieved.
- Added "unfactor fully" option.
- Added "make test" to fully test Mathomatic after compilation.
- Removed masking of 8th bit in all Mathomatic input.
- Updated primes program with a nice user interface.

Mathomatic is an automatic algebraic manipulator that is self-testing
and strictly follows the rules of algebra.
Mathomatic is an interpreter that can:
- Solve, simplify, and compare algebraic equations.
- Combine simultaneous equations.
- Perform basic calculus operations.
- Generate the sensitivity formula for one or more variables in an
equation.
- Act like a double precision floating point programmable calculator.
- Perform complex number and polynomial arithmetic.
- Compute the Greatest Common Divisor of numbers or polynomials.
- Generate "C" code from equations.
